About this item
In his phenomenal debut novel - a mesmerizing literary thriller about the bond between two brothers and the evil they face in a small North Carolina town - author Wiley Cash displays a remarkable talent for lyrical, powerfully emotional storytelling. A Land More Kind than Home is a modern masterwork of Southern fiction, reminiscent of the writings of John Hart (Down River) , Tom Franklin (Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter) , Ron Rash (Serena) , and Pete Dexter (Paris Trout) - one that is likely to be held in the same enduring esteem as such American classics as To Kill a Mockingbird, Of Mice and Men, and A Separate Peace. A brilliant evocation of a place, a heart-rending family story, a gripping and suspenseful mystery - with A Land More Kind than Home, a major American novelist enthusiastically announces his arrival.
